In my 10.1 days I got used to working with ZMD, which had more than

I decided to drop ZMD in favor of zypper in 10.2, and either I am
doing something wrong or it can't show me new versions; I used "zypper
sa" to add basically the same repositories, but afterwards no updates
were shown, even after manually telling it to check for them. If I use
Yast Software Management I can see (and install) the newer versions
quite easily.
Does zypper only work with YOU patches, or is the feature I'm looking
for available but I'm just not doing it right?
Yes, by default zypper up etc will only show packages marked as patch
priority, since doing an "upgrade all packages to newer available
versions" is usually a bad idea as it will replace supported packages
with potentially unsupported unstable packages. Normally it's best to
keep up to date with patches and upgrade those packages which you need
to upgrade.
However, if you wish to do an upgrade all you could do "zypper up -t
package" or "zypper -r" for "rug compatable" mode
